In recent decades, environmental pollution with chromium (Cr) has gained significant attention. Although chromium (Cr) can exist in a variety of different oxidation states and is a polyvalent element, only trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] and hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] are found frequently in the natural environment. In the current review, we summari...

Technologies utilizing radiological materials across power generation, defence, industry, research and medicine have increased the global inventory of highly active and hazardous materials. Consequently, an amplified threat exists of illicitly obtained materials being used as part of hostile acts. The potential for intentional releases occurs along...

Background Aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A are mycotoxins produced by filamentous fungi that attack crops on field and storage. Both mycotoxins present a risk on public health since aflatoxin B1 is a hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic agent while ochratoxin A can be nephrotoxic. Those mycotoxins can be found in several food items including spices, he...

In relation to the comment by Henriksen and Rinaldo, the authors intend to emphasize that before every experiment with SVGp12 cells they routinely test the cells for the absence of BKPyV contamination. The scientists can state that the SVGp12 cells used in their laboratory were not infected by BKPyV and that their results were also validated on the...

Characterization of fogs is an important problem that does not have a good solution in real conditions. To investigate this problem, we chose the electromagnetic echo effect (EMEE) because it offers several advantages measurements are fast, accurate and can be contactless. Various concepts for the detection of impurities in the composition of fogs ...

Identification of bacterial communities in both the raw material and the subsequent silages provides new insights into understanding the silage fermentation process. The objective was to evaluate how different silage management factors affect silage preservation characteristics, the microbiome, and their correlations. A red clover dominated sward w...

Prokaryotes (i.e., single-celled organisms without a nucleus) are currently divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. One of the major differences between the two domains lies in their cell wall. Indeed, although bacteria have mostly peptidoglycan (also known as murein) in their cell wall, most archaea have a cell wall composed of a protein l...

River mouth systems, such as estuaries and deltas are important earth system transitional zones linking the land and coastal marine systems. They funnel anthropogenic contaminants and pollutants from the activities in the river catchment into the marine environment. The present study is focused on the Magdalena River-mouth at Bocas de Ceniza where ...

Microorganisms have been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of malignant diseases, potentially affecting different hallmarks of cancer. Despite the fact that we have recently gained tremendous insight into the existence and interaction of the microbiome with neoplastic cells, we are only beginning to understand and exploit this knowledge f...
